How To Choose the Best Vest for You

Vests are one of our favorite pieces of gear for running comfortably year-round. Not all vests are created equal, however.

Here are some things to consider when choosing the best men’s vest for running:

  • Materials: Vests can vary slightly in the materials they’re made with and how they are insulated. Fleece and lightweight down for insulation are great options for those looking for the most warmth, while ripstop nylon and weather-treated fabrics are excellent for blocking out the wind, rain and snow. Sweat-wicking and breathable materials are also essential to prevent overheating and chafing.
  • Fit: Zapatillas Trail Running Gel Sonoma 6 Goretex layering Ecco Terracruise in Damen-Turnschuhe & Sneakers.
  • Pockets/Features: We love vests with hand pockets or a chest zip pocket for extra storage and hand coverage.
  • Reflectivity: Merrell Calçado homem Sapatos running run safely in the dark. Many vests have some reflectivity added to help you stand out to drivers and other road users.

Brooks Shield Hybrid Vest 2.0

$120

The men’s Brooks Shield Hybrid Vest 2.0 is one of our favorites for fall and winter running. It uses lightweight Thermolite¼ insulation that locks the heat in around your core, while side panels help you maintain a comfortable temperature as you warm up.

The Shield Hybrid Vest 2.0 is wind- and water-resistant like many of the other vests on this list, but our favorite feature is the draft-flap snaps along the zipper that keep the vest in place if you unzip for extra ventilation.

We love its slim fit that doesn’t feel too bulky when we’re running.

Winter running often means running in the dark—the men’s Brooks Run Visible Insulated Vest is one of our go-to’s for nighttime running, early morning dog walks or any time we need to add some reflectivity to our outfit.

It’s warm, weather-resistant and breathable, so your core will stay warm while excess heat can escape.
